Popular FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

What decking materials work best in the Pacific Northwest climate?
For our wet Oregon and Washington climate, we recommend either high-quality cedar, which naturally resists moisture and insects, or composite decking materials that offer exceptional durability and minimal maintenance. Composite options have improved dramatically in recent years, with realistic wood-grain appearances and excellent performance in our rainy conditions. During our consultation, we'll discuss the pros and cons of each option based on your specific needs and preferences.
How long does it take to build a typical deck or patio?
Most deck and patio projects take between 2-4 weeks from start to finish, depending on size, complexity, and material choices. Custom features like outdoor kitchens, fire features, or pergolas will extend the timeline. Weather conditions can also affect scheduling, particularly for concrete work which requires specific temperature and moisture conditions for optimal curing.
Do I need a permit for my deck or patio?
In most Oregon and Washington jurisdictions, decks that are more than 30 inches above grade or attached to the home require building permits. Some concrete patios may require permits depending on size, proximity to property lines, or if they include features like retaining walls. Our team handles all permitting processes, including submission of structural plans and coordination with local building departments.
What maintenance is required for decks and patios?
Maintenance requirements vary based on materials. Wood decks typically need cleaning and resealing every 1-2 years, while composite decking requires only periodic cleaning. Concrete patios should be sealed every 2-3 years to prevent staining and extend longevity. During our design process, we consider your maintenance preferences and can recommend materials and treatments accordingly.
